Variety said The Help director Tate Taylor will write the series and executive produce with John Norris, Craig Anderson and Sharon Hall.

The story follows Tom Wingo, a former football player who moves to New York to care for his sister, Savannah, after her suicide attempt. Tom shares his family's troubled history with Savannah's psychiatrist, Susan, and the two develop a romance.
Sources told Variety that scripts are still being completed for the series.
Taylor will also executive produce the Apple TV+ comedy Mrs. American Pie, which stars Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern and Allison Janney.
